Forget about work - it's the weekend!

Forget about work. Forget about express meals. Close the door, turn the music on, fire up the cooker -- it’s the weekend!

If weekday breakfasts consist of a quick bowl of cereal before running out the door, now’s the time for Chocolate French Toast with Hazelnuts and Raspberries. If mid-week meals consist of express rice and fast food, why not host a Tapas night and make Garlic Artichokes and Mushrooms, Roasted Grapes with Jamon Serrano and Patatas Bravas? If you depend on a vending machine for a weekday snack, how about an afternoon of baking -- try the Chocolate and Cardamom Brioche Buns or Orange and Almond Polenta Squares.
